Gene Simmons and Ace Frehley Reunite for Hurricane Relief Fundraiser

Former KISS bandmates Gene Simmons and Ace Frehley reunited Wednesday, Sept. 20, for the first time in 16 years, for a good cause.

The rockers played for a Hurricane Harvey Benefit, supporting the charity MATTER, who work in partnership with on-ground relief organizations to source and ship the items needed most in the affected areas devastated by the recent hurricane.

They performed back “Parasite,” “Cold Gin,” and “Shock Me.”

“I come from nothing, I couldn’t even speak English when I came to America,” Simmons said, according to CBS Minnesota, “Because America has been so good to me and given me the life I never dreamed that I would have, you must give back.”
